Full-Bleed Pages

Full-bleed pages allow colors, images, and graphics to extend all the way to the edge of the finished print for a clean, professional appearance. Available on both 28 lb text paper and 80 lb cover stock, full-bleed printing is ideal for flyers, promotional sheets, menus, announcements, and marketing materials that require edge-to-edge color.

To achieve true full-bleed printing, files must be submitted as PDFs with bleeds and trim marks included. This is extremely important whenever background colors, photos, or graphics extend to the edge of the final piece.

Result with and without Bleeds

Full-bleed printing is produced by printing on a larger sheet first, then trimming the pages down to the final finished size. Without proper bleeds, unwanted white edges may appear after trimming.

Example file when submitted with bleeds

Note that there is a $5.00 minimum for documents submitted for print.

Important File Setup Information
